Hi tim2111, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just to confirm, is the folder visible and added to your account on the Dropbox site, but not on your Windows computer?

Hi CG16, let's jump right into this!
If I understand your situation at the moment, it seems that you have a folder that's visible online, but not on the desktop app.
Can you check your app's version, along with its syncing status, and let me know what it reports please? We need to make sure the app is running & updating properly.
Keep me posted!
